I can access the server with no problems on the command line by: | [tim@passepartout ~]$ openssl s_client -host pop3.strato.de -port pop3s or | [tim@passepartout ~]$ gnutls-cli -p 995 pop3.strato.de If I put that into an element for mail-sources: | (pop :server "pop3.strato.de" | :port "pop3s" | :user "private" | :password "private" | :stream ssl) on getting new mail, *Messages* shows: | Opening TLS connection to `pop3.strato.de'... | Opening TLS connection with `gnutls-cli -p 995 pop3.strato.de'...done | Opening TLS connection to `pop3.strato.de'...done and then a question appears in the message buffer "Mail source error ([...]) (POP connexion failed). Continue?". No mail is ever downloaded, even though sometimes no error mes- sage pops up (caching of a failed connection?). The stream type is not documented in the *info* manual, and the documentation on SSL for IMAP is rather thin. So how do I find out what is wrong? TIA, Tim P. S.: Is there any particular reason why the error message reads "conne*x*ion failed" and not "conne*ct*ion failed"?
